Don Strahan, our April resident of the month, is one of the kindest gentlemen you will ever meet. Don was born in Alabama, raised in Mississippi, and has since lived in South Florida, Arkansas, and Georgia. He says his favorite state of living was Florida – we aren’t sure if it’s because of the sunny weather or because he spent his free time there raising and showing Shetland Sheepdogs. After serving four years in the Navy, Don went to night school to study electronics and soon after found a passion for his aviation career. Don has one son who currently lives in Austin, Texas. Throughout his life, he has had to overcome various health challenges, but he always comes out on top. His secret is not hard to get behind: “Diet and exercise are essential to good health”. We are incredibly inspired by Don’s relentlessly positive attitude. In fact, when he lived in Arkansas, Don graduated from Rock Steady Boxing, and he attributes much of his growth to these wonderful exercise classes. While he has not found a Rock Steady Boxing class in Peachtree City, Don religiously attends our daily exercise classes at Legacy Ridge at Peachtree. In his free time, Don enjoys spending time with his friends who also live in this area and finding ways to help others. He recently joined us on our outing to Bloom Donation Center to help sort diapers for mothers and children in need. Don thoroughly enjoys living at Legacy Ridge at Peachtree because “everyone here is so nice and helpful, and there is a tremendous amount of activities”. His best advice is as follows: “Be helpful to everyone you meet”. It is safe to say that Don truly practices what he preaches, and we are so grateful to have him as a part of our family here at Legacy Ridge at Peachtree.
